BUYING A PRIVATE PLANE

How it works

So, you’ve had it up to here with long airport security lines, crabby airline employees and generally crowded airports the world over. You’re an extremely frequent flyer and probably spend more time talking to flight attendants than to your own children. You’re a worldly business man and that means a great deal of travel on your part -- but it doesn’t mean you have to dread the experience each time. And, more often than not, it’s not just about wanting a comfortable lumbar-support seat, it’s also about the benefits of having your own airborne conference room and office -- something regular airlines are lacking altogether.

Finding and purchasing a private plane isn’t as hard as it might sound. With the internet at our fingertips at all times, the task can be completed within minutes. If bidding wars aren’t your style, keep away from eBay. There are a multitude of sites out there with ample selections and a wealth of accompanying information -- as well as full contact details for each seller -- in order for you to make the correct purchase.

Buying a private plane will rack up the dollars a little faster than buying a new suit -- especially if you’re planning on buying new. Cessna’s six to eight seaters can be found for $1.6 million to $3.8 million. If a larger 32-seat jetliner is your ideal private jet, the range increases to the 10 millions. Of course, you don’t always have to buy new; there are plenty of used models available and online companies willing to help you in your search for the perfect aircraft and you will be able fly anywhre and just operate your Blackberry.
